Targeting the human microbiome with antibiotics, probiotics, and prebiotics: gastroenterology enters the metagenomics era.
Studies of metagenomics and the human microbiome will tremendously expand our knowledge of the composition of microbial communities in the human body. As our understanding of microbial variation and corresponding genetic parameters is refined, this information can be applied to rational remodeling or "tailoring" of human-associated microbial communities and their associated functions. Physiolog...
متن کاملMetagenomics
EditoriAL EditoriAL Estimates suggest that less than 1% of the microorganisms present in most habitats on Earth are culturable, 1 which means that our current view of the structural and functional diversity of the microbial world is severely limited and its vast emporium of potential medicines and useful industrial products lies virtually untapped. Furthermore, our historical reliance on cultur...
متن کاملMetagenomics and Microbial Communities
Metagenomics is the genomic analysis of microbial communities. This new science provides access to organisms that are recalcitrant to culturing, as are the vastmajority of microorganismsonEarth.Metagenomics therebyoffers a first peek at thewide varietyof life that has never been studied, thus providing new insight into the structure and function of ecosystems as diverse as the oceans and the hu...
متن کاملMetagenomics and Personalized Medicine
The microbiome is a complex community of Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya, and viruses that infect humans and live in our tissues. It contributes the majority of genetic information to our metagenome and, consequently, influences our resistance and susceptibility to diseases, especially common inflammatory diseases, such as type 1 diabetes, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease. Here we discuss how...
متن کاملMetagenomics and novel gene discovery
Metagenomics is a term that describes both a field of scientific research and a set of techniques that enables the culture-independent analysis of a microbial community in any environmental sample. The field has grown exponentially in the last 10 to 15 years; allowing researchers unparalleled access to the “uncultured majority” of our microbial counterparts in our environments and closer to hom...
